I think he's saying "Consumerism is bad, Disney is evil, advertising is dishonest" is by-literally-I-mean-figuratively "nothing", as in this is not a relevant current concern. When you think "evil corporations doing bad things" are legacy media companies really what come to mind? Is it even in the top 10?
The installation about Princess Dianna's death really adds to the "by and for people who stopped paying attention to anything 20 years ago" vibe.
- rangibaby 11y ago"Mickey Mouse" copyright extensions are pretty bad IMHO.
- tim333 11y agoThere's loads of more recent that 20 years old stuff. Selfies, the migrants, payday loans, non functioning websites etc.
- catshirt 11y agoi mean- how many "legacy media companies" have world class tourist attractions? ignoring their shows, movies, and music all together- how many celebrities do they create? they are a staple of American consumerism. Princess Diana seems carefully selected to me. a more recent death would be "too soon". a less famous death wouldn't be familiar. a less public death wouldn't prove the point. a less innocent death wouldn't be sympathetic.
